Brain stem glioma is a distinct category of central nervous system tumor because of its unique location and behavior. The histology of brain stem gliomas spans the spectrum of gliomas located elsewhere in the central nervous system. The cause of these tumors is still unknown.
An infection caused by strep or staph bacteria can lead to toxic shock syndrome. These bacteria are common and usually don't cause problems. But in rare cases, the toxins enter the bloodstream and cause a severe immune reaction. This reaction causes the symptoms of TSS.
When you take a withdrawal from your TSP account, you can't make any contributions for six months, and the money you remove no longer earns interest, so you are at a definite disadvantage. After you determine how much you need, head over to the TSP website and fill out a Hardship Withdrawal form. You will have to justify to the TSP Board that you need the money-no frivolous expenses such as sports cars and designer handbags are allowed.
